This study aimed to microencapsulate protein hydrolysates from stripped weakfish (Cynoscion guatucupa) industrial byproducts produced by Alcalase (HA) and Protamex (HP) spray drying, using maltodextrin as wall material. The physicochemical characteristics, in vitro antioxidant Angiotensin-I converting enzyme-inhibitory activities were evaluated during storage. Both microencapsulated showed sphe...

As a significant threat to agriculture, pests have caused great disservice crop production and food security. Understanding the mechanisms of pests’ outbreaks invasion is critical in giving sound suggestions on their control prevention strategies. The African rhinoceros beetle, Oryctes monoceros (Olivier), as most damaging pest palms, banana, sugarcane, pineapple, severely threatens due its abi...

Orhinoceros rhinoceros menyerang titik tumbuh sehingga menghambat pertumbuhan tanaman muda. Serangan berat pada kelapa sawit umur 1-2 tahun mengakibatkan (daun tombak) patah dan membusuk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh ketinggian letak feromon (ethyl 4-methyloctanoate) terhadap jumlah hama kumbang tanduk (O. tertangkap pertanaman (Elais guineensis). dilaksanakan di Lahan rep...

Innate immunity is an evolutionary ancient defence strategy that serves to eliminate infectious agents while maintaining host health. It involves a complex network of sensors, signaling proteins and immune effectors detect the danger, then relay execute programme. Post-translational modifications relying on conserved ubiquitin ubiquitin-like are integral part system. Studies using invertebrate ...

Background The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is one of the popular model hosts for the study of the evolutionarily conserved mechanism of microbial pathogenesis and innate immunity. C. elegans can be effectively used to study the dynamics of polymicrobial infections. Proteus mirabilis, an opportunistic pathogen, does not cause death in C. elegans. In this study the C. elegans was pre-infected...
